PLY (Polygon File Format) stores 3D data from 3D scanners and photogrammetry software. It can include vertex colors, normals, and custom properties, making it popular in scientific computing and 3D scanning.
AMF (Additive Manufacturing File Format) is an XML-based format designed as a successor to STL. It supports color, materials, lattice structures, and curved triangles for more accurate 3D printing.
